Spirited Away
Spirited Away belongs in your night if you want the relationships inside a family to matter as much as the plot. It is a fairly steady watch with good forward movement, with a fuller 125-minute runtime, and the Watch Profile puts attention at 3/10 and emotional impact at 8/10. The signals are strong enough to make this one of the easier calls in the queue.
